Chapter 421: Release of the single!

On the same day.

The second night of the new year.

Zhang Ye had finally managed to taste Rao Aimin's Red Braised Pork at her house. It was really tasty and he couldn't stop eating. His mouth didn't even have a chance to stay closed as he devoured it all like a wolf, regardless of having just recovered from an illness, like he had not eaten for several days. Zhang Ye had always looked forward to the landlady's cooking. Ever since he went to Shanghai to work, he had not tasted her cooking. He would often salivate at the thought of her dishes. This, together with having drawn a really good item in the lottery this afternoon, led to him being in an extremely good mood, which, in turn, increased his appet.i.te significantly.

”It's too delicious! This food is all for this bro! I'm reserving this dish and leaving the rest of the dishes for you two. No one is gonna touch my Red Braised Pork!” Zhang Ye pulled the plate over to his side of the table.

”That’s mine.” Chenchen s.n.a.t.c.hed it back.

Zhang Ye held onto the plate, ”Don't fight with me over this.”

”It's you who is fighting with me for it.” Chenchen said solemnly.

Zhang Ye stared at her, ”Hey, how can you s.n.a.t.c.h this food from a sick man?!”

Chenchen contemptuously said, ”And you aren't giving in to a child, you are nothing like the adult you should be.”

Zhang Ye said, ”You, a child? You are more of an adult than an actual adult!”

”....Hur Hur.” Chenchen gave her trademark sneer again.

Rao Aimin was annoyed and rebuked, ”I'm watching TV, can the both of you rascals keep it down!”

Zhang Ye continued to eat, Chenchen continued to fight to have the dishes she wanted, while Rao Aimin was busy scolding the two of them. The three of them merrily had their meal as they bickered around. It was the new year after all.

After eating, Zhang Ye took out his laptop to watch ”Zhang Ye's Talk Show”. A new episode had been released, as four other episodes were released together with it. His fame and popularity, as well as his game ring's reputation points had been steadily increasing with each pa.s.sing day, but with this scheduled run of releases, the last episode would likely be in just a few more days. Hai, such a large stockpile of episodes were put online in such a short amount time, Zhang Ye wondered what kind of strict policy the SARFT was going to be announcing. He did not even know how he would go about his job from now on and could only take it one step at a time. He needed to get as many reputation points as possible before deciding his next move. Otherwise, should the SARFT policies really be detrimental to his talk show and, forcing him to be unable to broadcast any of his shows, it would definitely be a huge loss.

”What?” Rao Aimin frowned.

Zhang Ye clapped his hands together to signal that he was about to announce something. He said, ”Comrades, please be quiet. The renowned variety show that has gathered popularity throughout the nation, A new episode of 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show' is to be broadcasted now. Please enjoying viewing it in silence.” Zhang Ye did not help to wash the bowls, and just lay down on the sofa like it was his own home.

Rao Aimin glanced at him, ”The bowls?”

Zhang Ye said, ”I'll do that in a while. Let's watch first.”

Rao Aimin had spent an entire day and night taking care of him. Now that he had recovered, it was time for him to pay up. However, Zhang Ye would delay it if he could delay.

Chenchen said, ”Zhang Ye, you're so lazy.”

Zhang Ye stared at her, ”The one who is least qualified to say that would be you!”

The new episode started playing. Zhang Ye appeared on screen as he spoke confidently.

The joke segments came one after another as Zhang Ye watched and laughed out loud. He was even impressed by his own program. What a good show!

But when he looked to the young and old duo beside him.

Rao Aimin watched for a while and yawned.

Chenchen also followed her aunt's expression with a deadpan look and yawned.

From beginning till the end, the two of them had not laughed once. Zhang Ye was speechless. He admitted that the style of talk show was satirical and not simply making jokes just to get laughs. If it had to be funny, it couldn't be done in ways similar to crosstalks or skits. A talk show had its own unique charm that could combine a society's current affairs with humor with satire. In this world, only Zhang Ye could do it in this way. No one else had been able to recreate this style and soul. How could such an outstanding program make the two of you so sleepy! Do you even need to yawn!

He groaned a little, but did not take it up with them. Forget it, any form of art would never be able to force everyone to accept or like it. It wasn't his talk show that was not good, but that these two had such an elevated sense of humor. A high end talk show like this was not something that was suitable for a martial arts family like that, who'd spend all day training and fighting.

Chenchen banged on the table, ”Change the channel. Change the channel. Change the channel.”

Rao Aimin also said, ”You, this rascal, go and wash the bowls. Don't try to escape!”

Zhang Ye could only succ.u.mb to them. He switched off the computer and turned the TV back to a random news channel before angrily going off to scrub the bowls.

They don't know what true art is!!

You both really don't understand art!

Halfway through the was.h.i.+ng, his cellphone rang in his pocket.

Zhang Ye answered the unknown number saying, ”Who is this?”
